Apps Uncovered 21 April 2019 – Intimations of Spring

This week’s Apps Uncovered presents a selection of what I found to be the most interesting images posted to our Flickr group. My selections this week seemed to be a natural outgrowth of the time of year – the advent of Spring, and how it touches all of our lives and restores our wellsprings of creative energy

This week’s lead artwork, “Artist at Work, Connecticut” by Sara Augenbraun provides the best proof that Spring is upon us – an artist going about his craft on a fine, clear morning.

If you’d like to see your images in the running for selection to our weekly Apps Uncovered feature, be sure to list the apps you used to create your image when you upload it to the iPhoneographyCentral Flickr group. (And as an added bonus to other members who would love to learn from your successes, consider adding the “Backstory” describing the creative process that led you to capture and process the image as you did.)

Backstory (Analysis courtesy of Charles B. Haacker, posted to the image itself): There is so much going on here, so much story! The lineup of foreign currency at the top of the mirror–Mao next to Elizabeth II. The antique license plate cheek-by-jowl with a Sony speaker. The lake-schooner curved pipe hunting-dog wallpaper. That magnificent antique cash register! And the tiny detail just below the barber’s elbow: you can see the antique portrait the customer sees on the opposite wall.
